\nIt has not always been smooth (!)
\nWe often got into fights that fit the saying: “Divorce? Never! But Murder…”<\/em><\/p>\n
\nWe agreed ahead-of-time<\/em> that whatever we decide, we’ll do it on Tuesday.
\nWhen the yelling gets too much and we decide to divorce, we invoke our Tuesday rule:
\nIf by Tuesday we still want to, then we will.<\/strong>
\nSame with worry, being mad at our children, kicking them out of the house, handling parents, etc.<\/p>\n
\nIt works.<\/p>\n
